Add 1 measuring cup of ice into a mug

Mix well, and ENJOY!

BONUS:You can also boil some milk (just heat it up in the microwave if you’re *really* not feeling it!) and use that to mix with your CAcafe coconut coffee powder. Once the powder is dissolved, pour the mixture over ice, and now you have a delicious, rich, milky flavor to your iced coconut coffee!

INGREDIENTS:

Almond milk

Whipped cream

Hot Water

Ice Cubes

DIRECTIONS: (from Heather herself!)

Starting this hot day off the right way with an iced coconut coffee with almond milk topped with a bit of whipped cream. Depending on how large your cup is, two to four simple scoops of my favorite @CAcafeblog ‘s coconut coffee + hot water, pour over ice, add your favorite creamer, topped with whipped cream and voila! I fancy this coffee both hot or cold, but I figured with these hot summer days iced would be better x20.

#3: The Frappe - Summertime Classic with a Tropical Twist

For a summertime treat that is sure to bring back childhood memories--and invite you to make new ones on an island far far away. Check out this amazing frappe recipe developed by CAcafe fan @the_goodbadugly!

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups of milk

2 cups of ice

Splash of HOT water

DIRECTIONS:

Pour a splash of HOT water into the blender and start the blender to ensure that the HOT water blends AND dilutes the coffee powder

Add 2 cups of milk into the blender, along with 2 cups of ice.

Blend, pour, and ENJOY!

This makes about three 12 oz. servings of iced coconut frappe. At this point, feel free to add your choice of toppings, although in my opinion none are needed!

#4: The Time Traveler - Nostalgia in a Cup

Summer sun too bright for your liking? Wishing it was winter again, back when you could curl up next to a fire and just read until you fall asleep? Luckily, we've got you covered. Try this wintertime classic hot chocolate. But wait, not just any regular hot chocolate-- Don't forget it is the blazing hot summer! Instead, why not try out food blogger Amanda’s skinny iced coconut cocoa recipe?

How do you lighten up a hot chocolate? The first thing I did was to use a fat free milk, but you could use any milk you prefer (almond, coconut, etc.) I also happened to get my hands on some CAcafe Cocoa, which let me just say I was a little hesitant about since coconut has not always been one of my favorite flavors. However, I was completely surprised with how this cocoa tasted. The coconut flavor is light and only accents the chocolaty goodness without overpowering it.

CAcafe products were developed by a physician, with the highest quality real coconut, Colombian Coffee, Green Tea, and Dutch Chocolate. Plus, they are dairy, gluten, and trans fat free, and use only non-GMO cane sugar.

At the end of the day, you just can’t go wrong with frozen chocolate amazingness right now. Especially this one! This frozen hot chocolate is full of flavor and also almost completely guilt free.
